I’m a little teapot
Short and stout
Tip me over pour me out
Because that’s what teapots are made for aren’t they?
If only humans had the same surety of purpose
Designer made
Purpose built
Instruction manual to hand
Then again
Where’s the fun in that?
I admire people who seem to know what they are doing
Striving for
Working towards
On purpose
Maybe it’s a lifetime of planning going awry
But I
Aim towards
Yet am always happy to follow a detour if it arises

I don’t mind detours as long as they lead to happy endings. 😉
Very true – and if it’s not happy it’s not the end yet
❤️
I used to think detours from my well-planned visions were failures, but I’ve found the most personal growth on them recently and am coming to embrace the pour-me-out journeys. We have a lot more potential there than we know!
I love the “pour-me-out” journeys too and I love that expression.
So true!
😘
Day by day, Kate, day by day. I am not a planner, just go with the flow and react to the moment.
Good advice as usual Len and really what other choice
Is there that makes sense.
The ‘scenic route’ is always more fun. 🙂
Hahah “scenic” yeah that reminds me of the time I was on my bike down the coast and wasn’t sure where I was going so I plugged in my earphones and the gps. Siri took me the “scenic” route all the way up to the top of a misty mountain on a winding track (where I nearly hit a cow) and then service dropped out. If I could have tracked down Siri I would have strangled her! Instead I used my head and my vague sense of direction and found my way back to the highway. Scenery was awesome though 😁
Hahahaha 😀 Great story … sooner or later technology fails us.. 🙂
If it was a person actually giving me the instructions I could have at least an argument – instead it was a silent tense sulk 😁
Detours can be fun sometimes!
Well they certainly surprising 😊
Yeah detours are fine, we can learn from them. I have always admired those who know their exact roads too 👌
I had planned on being quite a different teapot from the way I turned out. But I wouldn’t trade any of the roads I found myself on, and I love the teapot that I’ve become. At 79, I suspect creation isn’t finished with me yet, either!!!
Creation keeps moulding us until we leave our body behind and go creating somewhere else. Keep filling and pouring Grace.
Getting lost in route you can discover the unknown.
And possibly what was originally intended.
